This has been the endgame for the Coast business for quite a while now. Greg and the rest of the Coast Executive team stand to directly benefit with its sale, this is still their focus.

Main issues here with your post are, the fact that one of your examples is from an international park, with vastly different safety requirements, secondly flat rides have different requirements than coasters do. Queensland has some of the strictest laws in the country surrounding attractions, I'd imagine their hands are tied with this.

Would this not be a positive thing?

Point is, they've had months to do so. If you're closing you park for months, you should be opening with every attraction operating. You mean like other life guards who are also training? You don't close a park for months, to then "soft open" it again.

True, but surely you'd do that with enough time to open the season with your entire park operating?

Wet 'n' Wild has enough PPT staff to run the park during non peak periods, and hire more during peak. All the parks do; just helps having a group of people to begin with, and not starting from scratch each time. They're not advertising for lifeguards at the moment, so it's probably not even that?

Considering every bit of concept art we've seen come out of this land is drastically different, it's pretty apparent DW have no idea what the fuck they were doing.

For clarity, I was comparing just Twister and Wicked Witch. Not JuR. Of course, but both have the same advertised opening time. This whole discussion was who would open first, and on time. So thank you for confirming what I was saying.

One of the big struggles/cons of operating seasonally, is having to rebuild your staff from the ground up each season.

Based off the latest NearMap shots, the Kansas Twister has a far larger, and imo more complicated ride envelope. FOTWW is far more contained than the other. By that logic, it's also had 3 coasters to build in that same time.

Perhaps you should jump on Flash or Rivals and check it out? I'm sure you'd get a pretty decent view from there. Regardless, they're already installing trains on the track, I don't imagine they'd be doing that if they weren't close to being finished in at least the ride envelopes? DW don't seem close to being ready for this step.

What have they been doing whilst the park was closed? Surely if you're running the park seasonally, you'd have time to do every bit of annual maintenance in the downtime? What's the excuse here?

Thanks /s

Looks like MW is winning the race at the moment, this is starting to look pretty close to being physically complete. Wonder how far behind Dreamworld is?

Keep drinking the Kool Aid kiddo.

Feels odd to agree with you.... but I agree.

I still don't think you get it...

Wild West's evacuations are almost always due to guest's fucking around and doing the wrong thing. What, you mean every GC news outlet posting it before Sea World did, wasn't going to make people aware of it??

They said in the video they put out a while ago, that you won't see changes when it first opens back up, but they're actively working on this process.

This is how Pico construct their theming. Once it's all in place, a team come in and fill all the gaps/patch the walls, paint and finish to match the rest of the exterior. Speeds up install times drastically.

Where was this said? I'm confused by your constant dribble.

There's a large track doing an arc on the back side of the buildings, with an arm that reaches over holding a version of the car. It required the same inspections as the parks coasters each morning.

Here's an idea, if you think you can do better, why don't you send your resume in? I'm sure they would appreciate your expertise in literally everything.

How do I spell it out easier for you, where did I reference footage of the track itself specifically going up for the flash? That's right I didn't.... I said it would be nice to see BTS stuff to the same quality, as a generalised statement. Do you understand?

I was referencing the videos that were put out for the flash. However if you're looking for track photos that aren't taken on an iPhone standing in the one spot, perhaps check the Oz BTS shots?
